chinese business. salescloud subscription more than doubled. we are joined on the phone by the company ceo, bill mcdermott. it is great to have you on the line. thank you for staying up so late to speak to us. let's ask you about your outlet. after you gave the headline numbers, there was some suggestion that may be with his performance, you should be upgrading? why any hesitance around that? bill: thank you so much. it is always nice to have an exceptional quarter for everybody wants you to raise guidance. there has been a lot of enthusiasm at sap. great momentum, but we still have a lot of work to do to deliver the quarter. versus raised.
1:16 am
we are working to do as much as we can for our shareholders. every explained in any way why you are not able to upgrade? bill: we're not nervous. every software company is in the same situation where the fourth quarter is the largest quarter of the year. if you look at our cloud business, we were up 116%. software and cloud combined for a very large company like ours was up 19%. up operating profit was also 19%. the big strength was in mature markets like europe and america. in the held our own countries where most had a rough time. we held our own. it is true that those countries are more unpredictable than they once were.
1:17 am
you have to factor that into your guidance and that is what versus raised. morning, is the global economy slowing down? seen evidencenot of that in our business. what is interesting about our business is, every company you talk to, they are trying to digitize their corporation so they can become more relevant to their customers and capitalize on the internet of things. thatnk sap is an innovator helps digitize these businesses and helps these companies grow. if they want to run a leaner and take cost out, it is impossible to do that without great technology. finally, when i think about the whether youwork, are trying to buy things more effectively, or trying to have
1:18 am
your people travel and spend money more intelligently, you need more software. i don't see the slowdown. however, when you look at other companies more reliant on hardware, or potentially people-based software, they are not as bullish and don't have pipelines as robust as sap. are as what i think we very uniquely positioned asset in the corporate hierarchy these days. guy: when do you think he will migrate to your last licensed customer in the cloud? when will that happen? all one could put them the cloud now. we have our flagship business suite. 1300 customers invested in this. i think of this as the digital control room that every board should run their business in real time by. prefer tor customers run that in their own data
1:19 am
center, as opposed to our cloud, or even somebody else's cloud. we are having a philosophy at is that says everything designed for the cloud because software designed for the cloud by definition, can run even better. software wheret our customers want to put it. as you know, a lot of customers today are concerned with their data and the privacy of that data. i think there is going to be a market for on premise software for many years to come. final question. when you look at margin development as migrations for the cloud happen, is there going to be greater margin pressure with the relation with the cloud? seen in thisu have quarter, and his quarter was a very important one for sap,
1:20 am
because we turned the quarter with operating profits. our margins expanded this quarter. so now, you actually see sap expand margins as we have diversified our company to be a market leading cloud company. we have done that by intelligently taking cost out of the company so we can run more effectively and we have done that by making the business transformation. we are not so reliant on the upfront revenue recognition. we have actually built a business and radical recognition based upon the cost base. within oure operating margins and the expansion operating profit. that is what the market has reacted so positively to our results. they are sustainable. we fundamentally change the model. anna: thank you very much for joining us. we were joined by the ceo of
1:21 am
sap. guy: let's go to canada now where the liberal party has swept into office. this was not the expected outcome, was it? reporter: it was expected there would be a liberal i know receipt and this was a big sweep -- a liberal minority and this was a big sweep. the conservative party led by stephen harper is firmly in place and 70% of canadians polled were looking for change. it was going to happen on some level, but we did not think it would be a majority for the liberals. harper, the stephen prime minister, step down. he was elected to power with 100 seats. the liberals at the moment have 184. youngudeau is the
1:22 am
43-year-old, i guess you could say that is young, the son of a rather famous prime minister. he had a shaky start in the early days of the campaign. who could bumbler not get his words out. he was ridiculed. not many people saw this happening. he did find his seat in the last couple debates and that we see a victory for him. he campaigned on a plan that included going back into deficits. canada came out of the great recession relatively on skate. -- unscathed. the first half of this year has seen a technical recession. on trudeau has campaigned putting the country back into a deficit position to have infrastructure spend on. canadians have gone for the plan. anna: more infrastructure
1:23 am
spending is a change in the fiscal stance. as the well-known, the complex is the big question mark. canada went into a technical recession because of the massive export dollars from oil. a big question about how that money will be made back. at the moment, there will be spending, some stimulus, and mr. harper, the prime minister that just resigned, has been firmly entrenched that we must keep the budget balance. the dollar falls or to a little bit after the results came in. most people expect with a little stimulus, the dollar will even out. anna: thank you, pamela. will we get surprises from the federal reserve? well, probably, maybe.

1:25 am
continued growth. mike: would you vote for an interest rate increase on the 28th? on whatl not speculate my views are for that meeting. we start with the process of the deep dive briefings. that starts tomorrow for us. i have spent a whole week preparing for that. it was into my colleagues. i will not decide on that today. mike: if you were to vote for an increase in october, it would shock the markets. is the fed willing to do that? to do is focus on economic fundamentals. where the economy is and the progress we have made. and, where we see the economy going over the next couple years. forakes about a year or two monetary and policy actions to have their full effect on the economy. we have to be looking at the front window and not in the rearview mirror. anna: that was the president of

1:40 am
industrial goods and high-end engineering, when you look at the concentration risk both have, where does the biggest risk why? acrosswhat we have seen europe is clustering. germany has clusters of capital goods. it is also the capital goods that have allowed china to build things. and the u.k., our specialism is finance. sure we want the capital goods but i thinks well, it takes advantage of the financial services that will dry up u.k. economy further. the risks -- that drive that up the u.k. economy further. we have just come out of a banking crisis. we know very much what the risks are for the banking sector and to build further upon that will increase the u.k. risk to global systemic issues. time, that is what
1:41 am
the u.k. has been a good at and it is what europe needs. if europe is going to succeed, it needs an increased concentration of each of its members. from the u.k. perspective, that concentration is a risk? b meetinghave an ec this week. fascinating conversations about what we are going to get and when. david: because the european economy, because of its crisis and the slow movement of the 5-6 years, wet are more likely to see growth driven by the cyclical economy. see unemployment fall. we are starting to see household incomes rise. the fall in inflation has helped . the fall of the euro is helping
1:42 am
to boost corporate earnings as well. it is the cyclical drive that will lay the groundwork for continued subdued recovery. we see 1.5 this year and 1.5 next. perhaps, some of the risks to the downside are seen as less now. certainly, we don't think that the ecb was to provide more stimulus a gehead of the federal reserve's decision. northern europe is talking about their concerns about inflation. they strip out all the volatility with everything else. it is still lagging. cannot seem to get it moving at
1:43 am
this stage. david: core inflation excludes them. inflation always has a lagging impact. what we will see from headline inflation in the next month or so is the turn. also start to improve the outlook for foreign inflation. that also concerned the ecb. we have seen janet yellen dismiss inflation expectations. ecb takes that a little bit more to heart. it sees downside risks and warning signs. if the inflation expectations rise in 2016, that will ease some of that. anna: thank you, david. emissionsxt, could be

the real economies in the world and investors to tune into the implications. obviously, not as much demand around. system tough the where there's a lot of overcapacity in commodities. room forch commodities. china is not important as much but not exporting as much to the west. western demand is not wrong as rapidly. the entire system has decelerated. anna: how do you invest around that? richard jeffrey: i think it is quite difficult. what people are looking for is more cyclical activity. burn.ike slow what you are trying to do is look at the areas through inflection points and picking up speed. most recently in the west perhaps, looking back over this year, we started to see europe began to gain more momentum in terms of domestic demand. doing ok but at
2:41 am
that was exporting into european countries. that was outside of the area. now, more dynamic growth within the area. that is the theme. guy: we have glass half full and ltra, interest rates. you have to wonder how you get at the other half full if you're talking by raising rates. i am wondering -- his new normal with interest rates here, this much of growth. how we are to get to the glass being full? richard jeffrey: the risk is it gets a little too full. interest rates at -- the panic levels. they should have been raised already. the fed is at that idea. looking at what happened in the past. not thinking of about what is happening now unlikely to happen in the future. western inflation looks quite low. it looks low not because of what
2:42 am
is happening within our economy but because we are importing disinflation through lower oil prices and weak manufacture prices and lower food prices. if you look at domestically generated like economies like the u.s. and u.k., it is rather high around 2% and maybe slightly higher. that is what the authorities should be focused on. if that was a policy mistake they made prior to the recession. fewave low inflation a years before. the authorities took advantage and said we will cut interest rates into that. anna: they should be putting it down? : growthrichard jeffrey as more normal. against that backdrop, you should be raising interest rates. what happens if we hit a bump in the road? as we will in some states. cannot cut interest rates any more if they could pump more liquidity.
